INTRODUCTION
For this research, an invention related to the engineering of a student or person related to
a university in the United Kingdom will be presented, where information about its creators
is presented, how the development of their invention was proposed, specific data as
interesting, etc.
For this occasion, we will talk about computer scientist Tim Berners-Lee. This person was in
charge of creating a great invention known as the World Wide Web (WWW). This scientist
enabled a system to be able to view web pages or hypertext documents through the
Internet.
This invention, which is the system we currently know as the Internet, has a great impact
on our day-to-day lives and it is interesting to know how it develops.
Who is Tim Berners-Lee?
Tim Berners-Lee is the creator of the World Wide Web, the system that allows us to know
the Internet for what it is today, in addition to being the director of the World Wide Web
Consortium (W3C), which was promoted to its creation in 1994.
Biography
Tim Berners-Lee was born on June 8, 1955, in London, England. After completing his studies
at Emanuel School, he entered Queen's College, Oxford University, where he received a
first-rate degree in physics.
After graduation, he managed to get a job with a printer in Plessey, Poole. Since 1980, he
has worked as an independent contractor in Switzerland. An essential part of his work was
to share information with researchers in different geographical locations and in order to
help in this process, he suggested a project based on the use of hypertexts, a language for
sharing texts electronically. The first prototype was a system known as INQUIRE.
In 1990, with the help of Robert Cailliau, he created the first version of the World Wide
Web, the first web browser, and the first web server. It went online in 1991. (Info.cern.ch)

The World Wide Web (WWW).
The World-Wide Web (WWW) is a distributed hypermedia system, accessible through the
Internet; that allows you to easily navigate through a huge amount of information. The
World Wide Web was initiated at CERN by Tim Berners-Lee (Berners-Lee, 1993a; BernersLee, Caillau, Groff and Pollerman, 1992a and 1992b) with the aim of integrating information
accessible through a single network of computers, but through different systems.
The World Wide Web is based on four elements a new communication protocol (HTTP or HyperText
Transfer Protocol); One language for writing hypermedia documents (HTML or Hypertext Markup
Language); A system notational to designate objects on the Internet and the operations to be
performed on them (URL or Uniform Resource Locator); and, finally, a set of applications (clients or
browsers) WWW and httpd servers) that divide the work of serving and presenting the information
multimedia to the user. The basic elements of WWW technology have already been described in a
number of publications on our country (Adell, 1993; Adell and Bellver, 1993 and 1995).
The number of WWW servers installed It is growing at a dizzying rate (in our country there are more
than 300) and it is estimated that, worldwide, its number doubles every 50 days. The amount of
information accessible through the World Wide Web is in the order of terabytes. Its massive use is
made in fields such as scientific communication, business, leisure and education.
What is the importance of all of these mentioned above?
It is important because he was the first person who managed to establish communication between
a server and a client using the HTTP protocol, supervised and standardized the development of the
necessary technologies on which the Web is founded and also that allow the proper functioning of
the Internet, in addition to the creation of the HTML language.
How does the World Wide Web work?
The Web operates on the basis of a three-step procedure, which are:
•
•
•
Translation. The URL (the one you enter into your browser) is linked to an IP address
through a large distributed Internet database (called DNS). Once the IP address is
obtained, communication is established between the user and the web server, and
data tonisión begins.
HTML request. The browser then requests the resource and obtains the parts of the
web page from the requested resources for graphics, text, etc.
Rendering. The browser then follows the instructions in the html or ccs code to
assemble the web page correctly, putting each graphic in place and each text as it
should look. The user can then see ton the screen and can, at their wish, jump to
similar ones.
Features of the World Wide Web (WWW)?
The Web is a dimension of multimedia, interactive and remote information exchange and
telecommunications, which largely reflects human knowledge, attitudes and behaviours.
Statistically, it was estimated in 2002 that of the 2,024 million existing web pages, 56.4%
were in English, compared to 7.7% in German, 5.6% in French and 4.95% in Japanese,
followed by 4% in Spanish.
What is the impact of the World Wide Web on education?
The educational usefulness of the World Wide Web is obvious. Not only does it participate
in the characteristics of a system traditional hypermedia, but can be used advantageously
in fields such as education and education. distance learning or the development of
interactive and/or ongoing teaching/learning materials update.
There are characteristics that make the World Wide Web a technology with great
educational potential, the following:
a) Hypertext/hypermedia capacity: the structure of the information is not linear, but
hyperdimensional. It is possible to design materials adapted to different levels,
expectations, etc. Of learners and structure the information so that readers
construct their own meanings by selecting which node or lexia they will examine and
which they will ignore.
b) Multimedia capability: multimedia documents (text, images, video clips, animation,
sound, computer applications, online queries through the World Wide Web) can be
distributed through the World Wide Web. databases, forms, sensitive maps, etc.).
c) Capacity as a distributed system open to the Internet: through the World Wide Web,
it is possible to construction of complex hypermedia stored on different servers on
the Internet and, for example, therefore, the collaborative work between teams of
researchers and professors.
d) The free availability of clients, servers, auxiliary applications for visualization and
Listening in a variety of formats (text, graphics, audio, video, interactive sessions,
gateways to others) systems, etc.) and for communication, tools for the
development of hypermedia and management servers, etc. for every almost any
type of hardware/software platform puts the technology WWW available to any
person or group with access to the Internet.
e) Expanded interactive capability: CGI forms and scripts allow the user to interact with
the system more comprehensively than by navigating information
Lost in Space
"When users move through a wide space of information, as in the case of hypertexts, there
is a there is a real risk that they will become disoriented or have trouble finding the
information they need" (Nielsen, 1990).
Designing hypermedia is as much a matter of content as it is of relationships between units
of content or lexias (how to put them together to form a coherent and usable hypertext
structure for the learning). Problems arising from information navigation have been a
theme recurrent in the hypertext literature (Edwards & Hardman, 1989). An expression has
been coined. To define the typical problem of navigation: "lost in hyperspace". It occurs
when:
a) You don't know where you are now.
b) b) You don't know how to get back to some familiar place.
c) c) You don't know how to look up the information you need or want.
d) d) You have the feeling that, despite your efforts, you are missing something
important
The World Wide Web, as a distributed hypermedia system, has characteristics that
"facilitate" the use of the users get "lost in hyperspace." These include the following:
A user can reach a page on a public WWW server from any node on the Internet. Your
browser's "back" button takes you back to the page you visited before, not to the page. the
one that logically precedes the current one.
The use of auxiliary applications to access the retrieved information in formats
thatbrowsers can't handle (sound, video snippets, or image quality (JPEG), For example) can
disorient unsavvy users: they "exit" the browser and the new application does not it has
nothing like a button that says "go back to the WWW client you were using a while ago."
moment."
The ever-increasing number of HTML documents generated on the fly by CGI scripts, which
do not They often incorporate navigation devices. They are often "dead ends" in which only
All that remains is to "go back" to return to some familiar place (usually the form in response
to which the current HTML document has been generated).
Therefore, in hypermedia systems and especially in the WWW, which allows you to include
as a node In our hypermedia, almost any object on the Internet, the navigation of
information is a Real Problem
Attempts have been made to solve these types of problems with various measures. In our
view, the keys to in the navigation design of a WWW server are in:
a) A clear design of the structure of hypermedia, of which the user must be made
aware (including meta-information, for example).
b) Careful page design that takes into account different types of users and include
enough information for the reader to be able to decide between the various Options
Offered to You.
c) A set of navigation devices that allow readers to: (a) determine their (b) to get an
idea of the relationship of that location to other materials, (c) return to the starting
point, and (d) explore materials not directly linked to those that are is located right
now.
CONCLUSION
In this research activity it is interesting to learn about this invention (World Wide Web,
WWW) since it has had a great impact on our lives and on communication technology, the
amount of information that society exchanges is impressive, so much so that for our
environment in education it serves for the learning of the different educational systems. In
engineering, there are fields that specialize in the study and application of the web. In
engineering there are fields that specialize in the study and application of the web,
cybersecurity has an important role, since not all information traffic does not necessarily
have to be with good intentions. Information about things and international societies has
acquired great value internationally. So it's interesting to know who the pioneers were, key
data to enrich our knowledge.
